Humble Somm is a welcome and long-overdue addition to Old Town Temecula. My wife and I had a…read morefantastic time from the moment we walked in -- the aesthetic is modern and chic, the kind of space that immediately sets the mood for a great evening. The self-serve wine bar is the star of the show. You load a card and use a tap system to pour by the taste, half glass, or full pour, making it incredibly easy to explore wines at your own pace without any pressure. The selection is extensive, with plenty of varietals to work through, and the staff is warm and attentive without being overbearing. Located just off Front Street and tucked toward the back of Old Town, it has a naturally intimate feel that makes it perfect for a date night or a low-key evening out. We haven't tried the food menu yet, but we're already looking forward to going back. If you want a great wine experience without driving out to the wineries, Humble Somm is exactly the answer. Highly recommend.

I chose several that were local from wineries I had never heard of and compared the same varietals in ones from California and other parts of the world. I like that I didn't have to buy a bottle or even a glass to see which I liked the most. The appetizers are fantastic, too.

The service and food here are phenomenal!

I love how the staff is all very well educated on the menu and we have seen Chris, either the owner and/or manager, every time we go. And he is equally delightful and helpful! The decor is really fun, too! Don't sleep on the toffee bundt cake. It's so delicious!

I left very happy with my experience, especially with the bar being filled with other kind folks, who loved to chat! Overall, the Merenda was a beautiful space, ambience was lovely.

Food: 5 Service: 5…read moreAmbiance: 5 Hidden gem alert! Tucked into an unassuming strip mall, you would never guess such a sexy, sophisticated spot is sitting right in the middle of it all. From the moment we walked into Fugghedabout, we were stunned. The space is dark, sultry, lightly dimmed, and incredibly chic, something you'd never expect here. It has a very grown up, intimate vibe (21+ only), perfect for date night or a night out with friends. We were lucky enough to visit on a night with live music (they have it Tuesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays), and it completely set the mood. Even though it wasn't very busy, the energy was wonderful and the music was excellent. Service was top notch. Meghan was fantastic, friendly, attentive, accommodating, and so helpful throughout the meal. Faith, the owner, also stopped by several times to check on us, which earned major points. Such a sweet touch and much appreciated. Now the food... wow. We started with the seared scallop special topped with caviar, and it was outstanding, perfectly cooked, with the caviar adding just the right touch of saltiness. Honestly, we wanted to order more. The hot goat cheese with hot honey appetizer was delicious and so comforting. Definitely get extra bread, you'll want it. Since it was Taco Tuesday, we tried the taco trio with chicken, steak, and shrimp. The steak and shrimp were standouts. The chicken was slightly dry, but overall we really enjoyed them. And the biggest surprise of the night was the shrimp and sausage skillet. Absolutely incredible. So flavorful and rich, and again we needed more bread to soak up every bit of that delicious sauce. We also ordered the crème brûlée for dessert, which was good. The sugar topping was slightly thick, and I'll admit I'm a bit of a dessert snob, so while we enjoyed it, the meal itself was really the shining star of the night. I'm already dreaming about my next visit. I was genuinely impressed by everything, service, ambiance, food, and live music. This place is a whole vibe. Five stars all the way. Highly recommend for anyone looking for amazing food in a sultry, intimate setting. I've already recommended it to several friends. Thank you Meghan and Faith for such a great night. We'll definitely be back!

Fuhgeddaboudit! But my visit was so memorable that I will never forget about it!…read more Faith (owner) really has something special in Windomar, CA., just off of the Clinton Keith exit of Interstate 15. Imagine an elegant Wine Bar with dim lighting, an Old Skool atmosphere, and a wine list and menu of entrees and appetizers that will challenge any palate, compliments of Chef Orquedea. It was our first visit, arriving just as they opened, and having the whole romantic, classy speakeasy all to ourselves, our server Megan, made us feel right at home. Ensuring we received a little history about the establishment, the day's specials, and what some of their customers' favorites. To begin the experience, we received complimentary glasses of sparkling wine in celebration of their one-year anniversary, which was a nice touch. After a brief moment, we settled on sausage and three-cheese skillet appetizers with a house baguette. The two dishes arrived piping hot, gooey, and enticing! Amazingly delicious to say the least! Kudos to their place settings, glassware, and cloth napkins. Our selected wine was excellent as well, and the selection is very worldly and admirable. THIS is my favorite date place in the area!!! Chill, fashionable, comfortable seating, gorgeous bar, soft music in the background allowing for conversation, and the restroom provides a pleasant surprise as well. Hours of operation hover around Happy Hour and dinner, closing at 9 PM on weekdays and 10 pm on Friday and Saturday. Looking forward to enjoying their live entertainment and themed events in the future, at which time I will follow up on this review. Thank you, Faith, Megan & Orquedea for a wonderful time.--

The restaurant had split seating -small dining area in the front of the restaurant and another seating area in the back. Rustic interior and decor, which represents Julian. Ordered a couple of cider tastings. I liked all of the different selections that were on the menu. There were more than some of the other cideries o have been to. Presentation of the tasing was cute - they were delivered in muffin tins which I thought was creative. I did not like the fast that the drinks were served in cheap plastic cups. Something about drinking from a glass just makes things taste better. That would not stop me from returning though.

Lively, diverse, energized full of bright faces that bring light to the dimly lit space. Service was stellar - attentive, on it, anticipated needs/preferences before they were even addressed. A quick anecdote, the waitress made PROACTIVE decisions knowing I am Vegan, not just reactive - a rare thing outside of high dining restaurant. Red wine flight included a fantastic Cab & Cab Reserve, and a "very good" Pinot...and that's coming from a person who does not drink Pinot. I didn't care for the blend but then again I never care for a blend as it is. Food was "American" style tapas - small plates of well crafted foods ranging from flatbread pizza to meatballs to vege pockets and (for me) a "Vegan Stack" composed of rice, mango, avocado, and a delicious spicy mayo. Tiramisu dessert disappeared in all of 20 seconds, well plated and beautifully crafted. You will not leave La Fe thinking to yourself "that was the greatest food I've ever had," but you may just leave thinking "this was the best time with my friends I've ever had" - and THAT is what this restaurant is for -- Bring your friends for a night on the town, bring your family for an energized reunion, bring yourself for a social time itch-scratching. In other words, this restaurant has a unique PLACE in the Palm Desert area: it is the place to happy social.

Service was a bit slow just to get drinks, and the prices lean on the higher end compared to other wine bars, but it's still worth checking out. The staff were friendly, and you really can't beat the location. Would recommend popping in for a glass as you explore Palm Springs. The style is cute and chic, and the views make it an easy stop.

My two issues, one in the beginning they had about 5 bars open. During intermission they only had two bars open for hundreds of people. My second issue was, they only had one bathroom for the men and one for the women. The line was long and wrapped around the event center. Due the long line for the bar we were only able to get a drink before the concert. As well they had no re-entry, If you walked out to use another restroom or the bar, you could not come back in. I would definitely come back to watch another concert and next time I'll make sure to use the restroom before the concert cans buy 2 big drinks before the concert.

The worst and major problem: the sound is just execrable. There has been improvement made over the past 4 years however it's still very bad. The venue's acoustic is obviously not designed for music... Like many other music venue, Harrah's gouges prices on drinks. The seating is not comfortable, and I struggled a couple of times to reach my seats within our row (the seating is more like a convention center setup). I do not recommend this venue unless the artist is "one of a kind" that you really want to see, locally.
